Murray Wood: The public has a right to know details when someone is killed by police
Imagine living in a country where police shoot and kill someone, then don't tell the public who it was. Well, that's wha...
A 75-year-old Medicine Hat man lost his life on Highway 7 in Saskatchewan on Monday.
The RCMP said officers from the Rosetown detachment got a report Monday afternoon about a crash between a westbound semi and an eastbound SUV just west of Tessier on Highway 7.
The driver of the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, police said, while the driver of the semi reported only minor injuries. The family of the Medicine Hat man has been notified of his death, police said.
The highway was closed Monday while police investigated the crash, but it has since reopened to traffic.
Tessier is located about 60 kilometres southwest of Saskatoon.
